Lukas gave me a wonderful pedicure! He took his time and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Would highly recommend!

Also a huge shout out to Erica who did my hair - I am in love with my new look!! The highlights, blending and toner is just perfect!! I LOVE it!!!!

I've had a few facials with Judy H and she is simply the most friendly and personable and knowledgeable professional! Would definitely recommend this gem! read more

I love love the gal that does my hair-Ava H!! She's excellent, so fun and very nice. It's nice to get the good value. The only bad part is the students you like all graduate and move on to work in a salon but I've had really good experiences with all of the gals but Ava is my fave! read more

Nurtur Aveda Institute - New highlights, totally new direction. - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I believed I needed a facial so I decided to try my first ever and at this location. My student Karol was excellent. I was first asked to choose between two scents as aromatherapy for the curtained section of the dark room. Then to change down to the waist with a Velcro towel. Then got under the bed covers. A little massage of the head. Wrapped the hair. Prepped the face for eval. Washed my feet. Instructor is retrieved to consult on next steps. Oh, my face was hydrated! Lots more occurred including unexpected massages of the feet and arms while masking and steaming face, etc. My face was soft and a little glowy. Wonderful experience! I would recommend. I was able to use my 20 percent birthday discount on the $40 facial. However about 3 hrs later, my face became bumpy again and don't know why. read more

Tori Schubert did amazing on my hair! She shampooed, blow dried, and curled my hair! love her so much!

Hannah F and Jamey T did an amazing job transforming my hair! They brought it back to life and made it look SO much better. I absolutely love it! read more

I am new to the area and was unsure where to begin with finding a new salon. A coworker recommended Aveda and I'm so thankful I was teamed up with Kat!! She took her time and helped bring my hair back to life. The first time in a long time I've loved my hair! Be patient as they are in training, but worth the wait! read more

I visit Aveda regularly to get my hair colored. Recently they started charging extra to get a toner with highlights which doesn't make any sense, nor is it listed on the price page. Usually the job done is ok and if there are issues they are willing to fix it. The price isn't bad. I would avoid coming here for a one time nail service. Some of the students do a good job but it's hard to find one like that, if you rebook with them, they can still stick you with another student. I would stick to haircuts, colors, blow outs or the facials. read more

This was my second time going to get my hair done, the first time, I got a full highlight with color, and I didn't love it. However, they are students, and they have to learn on someone. This time, I went in, I got full highlights, toner, and my hair styled (they charge for styling, I didn't know!!) my hair turned out lovely, and it was exactly what I wanted. I do wish it was a but warmer in there, as I was freezing. If you go, I recommend bringing snacks! read more

I just got my hair done by Isabella Clark! She was amazing and overall had great energy! Knew what she was doing and did everything so perfectly! I suggest booking with her. read more

Nurtur Aveda Institute - Got 3-4 inches cut off and a beautiful style for date night tonight! - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Hannah worked on my hair this time and she was awesome! She is very skilled with blondes and that can be hard to come by. She was also great to chat with the whole time! I felt heard and understood about my hair needs. I also think that the pricing is quite fair for a beauty school. read more

Had my facial for the first time. It went well! Felt relaxed and comfortable. The staff were nice, courteous and polite. Would definitely go back for other services. read more

I have been coming to Aveda Fredric's Institute in Indianapolis for over 20 years, and it is an incredible value for the quality of services you receive. I'm on the Professional Treatment Facial membership -- two anti-aging Ultraceuticals facials a month for $80 -- though they also offer facial memberships at $40 and $60 a month. I love adding the aroma body polish to round out the experience. The students are genuinely impressive; I often forget they're still in training. Combined with the warm, welcoming attitude of the teachers and staff, every visit feels like a true spa day. read more

Had an amazing facial here from Carri T., who is an aesthetician student--but you'd never know it! Occasionally a supervisor will pop in to check on the students, but it wasn't intrusive at all. I left feeling so relaxed, and my skin was glowing and hydrated from the facial. I liked that she analyzed my skin first and then decided what products to use. read more

I've been getting facials here twice a month for years and have yet to be disappointed! These may be esthetician students, but the quality is top notch. While all of them are great, book with Valencia if you can. She is kind, knowledgeable, and has been giving my skin that extra glow read more

Calista did a great job! She listened to what I needed and took her time to do a nice job.

Came in for another amazing facial with Elle S Decided to add on a brow wax another great choice ! Loving my new look Thanks again Elle !! read more

I got my first 60 minute custom facial from Hannah today and she did absolutely great! 10/10 experience!!

I went in for a simple root touch-up appointment and was refused service because of "damage," even though I've had my hair done at Aveda four times before without any issues. I'm extremely disappointed with how I was treated. Instead of respectfully explaining their concerns, the instructor spent nearly 15 minutes criticizing my hair and talking about my breakage. The entire experience felt unprofessional, embarrassing, and incredibly frustrating. I left feeling judged instead of helped. read more

Wow! Quite literally obsessed with the blowout and scalp massage I received from Christian. He taught me all about the products and what worked best for my hair type- was so impressed. School was beautiful and such a pretty place. I nearly fell asleep in the shampoo room! 10/10! read more

Let me start off by saying I understand that this is a school, and not a professional salon. I've been here multiple times to get a simple haircut- I always just get a trim and some face framing pieces. I have never had a problem with my haircuts there until today. I just asked for a trim (about 2 inches off) and that was fine. When my hair was dry, she asked an instructor to come over because she didn't know how to do face framing pieces. She seemed completely clueless and the instructor hoax to show her everything. My stomach sank a little when she asked how to do this. I was hopeful and decided to trust the process, but honestly, it ended up Turing out looking like a half bowl haircut, with long chunks in the back. It was not blended at all and looked extremely shaggy. It looked like she tried to do a bob and then gave up halfway through and left the rest long. The instructor didn't even come and check when she was done cutting the face framing pieces. Long story short, I ended up crying all the way home, and will never come back here again. Looks like I'm going to have to wear my hair slicked back in a ponytail for a while... read more

Christian F did a fabulous color and style today He took the time to make sure everything was perfect. A wonderful experience.

I love getting my hair cut at Aveda Fredric's Institute. You can't beat the price: $24 for a shampoo, cut and blow dry. And best of all: Tipping is forbidden! This is a school, and these are students learning their craft, so tipping is not allowed, which is fine by me. In lieu of a tip, though, I have been known to tell the teachers that the person who cut my hair did a good job. So hopefully, that counts for something! I've never had a bad haircut here. Granted, I'm very simple with my hair requests: I usually only visit for a trim. But my trims have always been precise, and I always leave feeling refreshed and smelling amazing. Aveda products are some of my favorite. Haircuts are scheduled for an hour because the student needs to have each part of the process checked before proceeding. But this most recent haircut visit, I was in and out in less than 45 minutes. I guess it pays to have easy hair! At this Aveda school, you can also get manicures, pedicures, massages, facials and waxing. I've recieved pedicures here on two different occasions, and both have been super relaxing. The pedicure usually takes longer than your typical pedicure (about an hour) because, again, the student needs to get the pedicure checked by an instructor. I usually bring my laptop with me for pedicures, so I can relax and also work at the same time. The grussle don't stop. Even if you don't visit this Aveda for a service, you can stop in and shop for Aveda products. They have a lot of things! I'll usually stock up on my favorites twice a year or so. read more

I usually look to Groupon for budget-friendly beauty services, but I wanted to try out Aveda due to its excellent reviews. I booked a 60 minute facial on a Tuesday afternoon and was surprised at how packed the facility was! After checking in at the front desk, Nadia greeted me and asked me questions regarding my overall health and skin concerns. After reviewing my questionnaire with her instructor, I was moved into the darkened ~spa~ room where the facials and massages are done. I was given a robe to change into and was ready for my facial! Nadia did a great job at being gentle with my skin but also made purposeful movements while massaging my face/neck area. About halfway through the facial, the instructor approved Nadia's personalized plan for the rest of my facial. I am definitely coming here again because I love the idea of helping future estheticians perfect their skills. Not only is it a budget-friendly option for beauty services, but you also get 2 individual's opinions during your service all while helping students learn! read more

Fantastic school! I got my haircut last week and (Mary) did an awesome job! I've gotten compliments every day on my hair since my visit and I am very pleased with the results. Additionally, the ambiance of the school is welcoming and bright, the atmosphere is warm and attractive. The whole building was aesthetically pleasing and the students were nice; I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and I am very appreciative for it. (I'll be back to see Mary soon!) read more

I had a blowout! She had her work cut out for her with my thick curly hair left silky & shinny. Thank you Trinity!

This is my second visit to Aveda. The staff and the students are both highly professional and well trained. Both times I've scheduled my haircut with Lily . My hair is difficult, fine, and thin...not easy to style. For years I've had a'make-do' not a 'hair-do.' But Lily works her magic and I walked out feeling like a different person. Thank you all! I will be back! read more

I've been coming here for over a decade now. When I first moved here, a friend of mine, recommended this place and I have never been disappointed. The staff are always friendly and I'm always amazed how they never messed up . Well, for sure they have amazing instructors that would come around and make sure everything is done correctly. And ya know, for $18+future inflation for a hair cut + a scalp massage (they'll ask...just say YES), you just can't be disappointed. Thanks again and I trust y'all with my hair. I like the new location in Carmel, but I do miss the star room in Castleton. Shout out to Gabey! read more

Sophie did an amazing and relaxing facial. It was so relaxing and felt like being at a high end spa.

In my opinion Ferry Patel is the Best hair artist at Fedrick's. She has mastered all hairstyles and she work exceptionally well with all hair types. The bounce on my hair looked amazing and I got so many compliments. I really recommend her and appreciate all her effort and for making me look so beautiful by enhancing my hairstyle. read more

I had my hair highlighted on 11/12 by Hudson A. This was one of the best highlights I've ever had. He took his time and blended it perfectly.

I have had my hair done there three separate times and I've been very happy with the results. read more

I've always been a big fan of visiting the Aveda school for haircuts and massages. Selfishly, I was a little bummed that I moved further north since I drive from downtown for my appointments but I was glad to see they were still open in Indianapolis. I recently visited for a massage and haircut and had a great experience. I was able to book both back to back and make my way from one appointment to the next. Note that you want to leave extra time for these appointments versus a regular appointment and given the educational elements for the students and teachers. The only thing the new location is missing is the book beautiful old Turkish bath looking room in which all the hair washing took place at the previous location- it reminded me of a relaxing hammam. I'm hoping to visit in the next few weeks to try one of their facials. The prices are truly hard to beat and I love the product line. And, for those who are fans of World Market, it's conveniently located around the corner ;) read more

My first experience at Aveda was beyond phenomenal. Value and experience alone were great compared to the price of a regular spa, however also knowing it's helping the students succeed and progress toward graduation was fulfilling. Jillian, who I had, went above and behind to ensure I was comfortable, and overall was super professional and thorough. The experience was fantastic. I can't wait to go back! read more
